For this type of writing, generally people will start with the traditional "how-to" essay. From here writers can move on to things like "Favorite Words," "I Was a Witness," and "Unwritten Rules."
My favorite example is from Kelly Gallagher's Write Like This and discusses "The Unofficial and Unwritten (but you better follow them if you want o be a baseball player) Rules of Baseball." Explanatory writing is a great way to show expertise in a hobby or sport or provides an opportunity to learn about something new through research and then explain it.
